I wish I could tell you that you are in for an easy week but unfortunately based on some of the astrological transits and my week-ahead pull, there will be chaos.

And, the Aries Full Moon is on the 17th. I have done a Full Moon reading as well. Let me first go over the astrological transits to expect this week.

Then I will go over the readings.

On October 14th, the Sun in Libra squares Mars in Cancer.

The Sun, which is all about your sense of self and vitality, is in the diplomatic sign of Libra.

But it's bumping heads with Mars, the planet of action and drive, as it's hanging out in the emotional sign of Cancer.

So you might be feeling this internal tug-of-war between your need for harmony and balance and your more instinctual, protective reactions.

There could be some power struggles or aggression going down, as your rational and emotional sides just aren't seeing eye-to-eye.

The key is to find a way to channel this energy constructively - by taking a breather when things get heated and then approaching the situation with a bit more finesse.

On the same day, Venus is in Scorpio in opposition to Uranus in Taurus.

With Venus, the planet of love and beauty, squaring off against the wild card of the zodiac, Uranus, in the grounded sign of Taurus, your relationships and your sense of security are likely to feel a bit... unsettled.

Expect the unexpected when it comes to your connections and your resources.

This could manifest as sudden changes, unforeseen events, or a need to break free from the status quo.

Try to stay flexible and open-minded, even if it feels a bit uncomfortable.

There might be some neat new developments on the horizon if you can just roll with the punches.

On October 15th, Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces. With Venus in the deep, passionate sign of Scorpio and then forming a harmonious trine with the dreamy, mystical Neptune in Pisces, there is good from this.

Your relationships and creative pursuits will likely have a more ethereal, romantic vibe.

This is a great time to tap into your intuition, explore your imagination, and get starry-eyed.

Just be mindful of any tendencies to idealize or get lost in fantasy - try to keep one foot grounded in reality, too.

On October 17th, Venus enters Sagittarius. As Venus moves into Sagittarius's adventurous, free-spirited sign, you might find yourself craving a little more freedom and excitement in your relationships and creative life.

Your palate for the finer things in life might expand, and you might be drawn to new experiences, different cultures, or philosophical exploration.

Welcome your curiosity and zest for life during this transit - just try not to let your commitments fall by the wayside in the process.

Also, the Full moon in Aries falls on the same day. It is about to bring some serious intensity!

With the Moon, our emotional nature, reaching its peak in Aries's bold, impulsive sign, you might feel extra fired up, passionate, and ready to take action.

This is a great time to tap into your courage and pioneer spirit, but try to channel that energy constructively.

Avoid reckless behavior or hasty decisions; instead, focus on what ignites your spirit.

Finally, on the same day, Venus in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn. This one's got some depth to it!

With Venus forming a harmonious sextile with the transformative power of Pluto in Capricorn, your relationships and creative pursuits may take on a more profound, meaningful quality.

You might find yourself drawn to delving into the deeper layers of your connections or exploring the complexities of your inner world.

It's a great time to let go of any emotional baggage and embrace the potential for growth and transformation.

So that is what is happening astrologically. Now, let’s look at the week-ahead tarot reading:

1. Your week as a whole - Tower

2. Something unexpected that will arise - Six of Swords

3. How to stay grounded and balanced - Hermit

4. Important emotion that you will feel this week - Ace of Swords

5. Something that will inspire you - Seven of Cups

6. How your spirit guides speak to you this week - Page of Pentacles

7. How to best support yourself this week - Nine of Cups

Card One - Tower

Expect the unexpected this week, as sudden changes, disruptions, or crises may arise.

This can be unsettling but also an opportunity for profound transformation and growth.

And that is easier said than done when you are smack in the middle of it.

The Tower signifies a shakeup that breaks down old structures and beliefs, forcing you to see things in a new light.

By the way, the destruction does not have to be literal. It can be a sudden revelation but the same will result.

What will you do if you suddenly see a situation in a new light that can change things for good?

An example can be you believing a “good friend” has always had your back.

However, you will suddenly get a revelation that this so-called friend has been nothing but a backstabber.

It could be based on an action they do that will upset you and get you reflecting on it more - until you have that revelation about how two-faced they truly are.

That will change everything, such as cutting you out, and you even evaluating other friendships you have. That is not easy.

That said, while challenging, this energy can catalyze important breakthroughs if you remain adaptable and open to change.

Card Two - Six of Swords

This week may involve a transition or “trip” away from a difficult or turbulent situation.

You may be moving on from problems, conflicts, or emotional baggage.

The Six of Swords suggests you are leaving something behind and finding calmer waters ahead, even if the process is not entirely smooth. '

This change, while not always easy, can lead to a sense of relief and progress.

You know, like, not only cutting out that so-called friend but cutting out others who are doing the same crap.

Card Three - Hermit

During this potentially chaotic week, it will be important to spend time in solitude and self-reflection.

That is what happens after having a Tower moment anyway.

The Hermit card advises you to turn inward, connect with your inner wisdom, and find a quiet, meditative space.

This introspective energy will help you gain clarity, re-center yourself, and move forward with more wisdom and purpose.

Trust your intuition, and don't be afraid to withdraw from the noise of daily life when you need to recharge.

Card Four - Ace of Swords

This week highlights a sense of mental clarity, decisiveness, and the ability to communicate effectively.

The Ace of Swords represents a breakthrough in your thinking, allowing you to see things from a new, more empowered perspective.

You may feel inspired to speak your truth, make an important decision, or tackle a challenge with renewed focus and conviction.

This intellectual and communicative energy can be a great asset during times of change and transition.

Card Five - Seven of Cups

This week may bring a sense of wonder, imagination, and possibility.

The Seven of Cups suggests you can access various creative options, dreams, and fantasies.

While this can be exciting, it's important not to get lost in unrealistic scenarios or wishful thinking.

Use this inspirational energy to explore new ideas and possibilities, but also stay grounded in what is truly achievable for you at this time.

Card Six - Page of Pentacles

Your spirit guides may communicate through signs, symbols, or messengers related to the material world, finances, or practical matters.

Keep your eyes open for synchronicities, messages, or opportunities that point you in a productive direction.

The Page of Pentacles encourages you to approach this week with curiosity, diligence, and a willingness to start something new that has the potential to grow over time.

Card Seven - Nine of Cups

This is a week to focus on your emotional fulfillment and sense of contentment.

That is the only way to feel as well as you can after dealing with a Tower moment.

The Nine of Cups suggests indulging in small pleasures, treating yourself compassionately, and allowing yourself to feel satisfied with your accomplishments.

Like for example, if you need to take that bath to recharge which also gives you joy right before going to bed while enjoying a piece of Swiss chocolate, do it!

Honoring your needs and finding simple joys can replenish your inner resources and help you better tread the changing tides ahead.

So there it is. This week ahead seems to be one of disruption, transition and new intellectual breakthroughs.

While unexpected challenges may arise, your spirit guides are encouraging you to find grounding through solitude, curiosity and self-care.

Stay adaptable, trust your intuition, and focus on what truly inspires and fulfills you during this time of change.

Now, let’s do the Aries Full Moon reading.

Aries Full Moon Reading

1. What can no longer be hidden - the Sun

2. What can I let go of? - Five of Wands

3. What is getting ready to emerge? - Ten of Swords

Card One - The Sun

The Sun card represents things coming to light, being revealed, and shining a bright light on the situation.

This suggests that during this Aries Full Moon, certain truths or aspects of your life can no longer be hidden or kept in the dark.

This could be related to your identity, passions, or areas where you are being called to step into your authenticity.

Card Two- Five of Wands

The Five of Wands indicates inner conflict, competition, and a sense of struggle.

This card suggests that during this lunar phase, you are being called to let go of any unnecessary drama, combativeness, or internal battles that are draining your energy.

What is even the point of it? You will see that clearly and ask yourself that question.

It may be time to find more harmony and cooperation rather than wasting time and effort on fighting. Pick your battles people!

Card Three- Ten of Swords

The Ten of Swords represents an ending, a painful conclusion, or a bottom-hitting moment.

This implies that something in your life is reaching a culmination or major transition point.

While this can feel difficult, it also allows for a new cycle to begin.

The Ten of Swords often signifies that the worst is over, and it is time to move forward and start fresh.

(Why do I keep having the urge to go back to that back-stabbing so-called friend example? Because.. good riddance)

Overall, this reading suggests the Aries Full Moon is bringing heightened clarity, a call to let go of inner turmoil.

It also indicates that there is an end of a significant chapter in your life - all to prepare you for a new beginning.

The key is to welcome the light, release what no longer serves you, and have faith in the transformation process - which once again is easier said than done but surrendering to this is the only choice you have, right?
